Nottinghamshire County Council coordinates rural touring schemes in Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire on behalf of the partnership of local authorities across each area.
The three touring schemes - Village Ventures (Nottinghamshire), Centre Stage (Leicestershire) and Lincolnshire Rural and Community Touring - support volunteer promoters to programme high quality performances from professional companies and performers in local community venues. By increasing its investment the partnership is supporting the continuation and growth of the schemes in providing access to a wide range of arts activities in rural areas.

The Lengthsman scheme is a key part of the implementation of the County Council's Localism Policy. A Lengthsman is the term used for a person in charge of a particular length of road and who maintains the weeds, grass and hedges that surround it. The role dates back to the medieval times when they were required to 'walk the length of the parish', to ensure that the ditches and drains were clear. Over time the role was lost, but we are modernising the scheme to bring it back to Nottinghamshire communities.
